Sorry, but no luck on the brake springs. Looks like I sold them all.
A couple guys stocked up some extras...maybe they will offer to share.
There are a couple things you should do to ensure primo steering on yor carrier.
I offer these tips on top of the common sense things like porper linkage adjustment, new inner seals, properly repacking the bearings, etc...:
1) reline your shoes. The guys who do it will likely bond them.
2.) get the drums turned. Anything less than a perfect smooth surface will only diminish the steering. If your drums are scored, then you will only get a fraction of the braking potential.
3) make sure the shoes are arced to the drums. If you hold the shoe into the drum, the entire surface of the shoe should sit tight to the drum surface. If it rocks back and forth, or only contacts at the outer edges, then you are not getting the full advantage of the brake shoes. Sometimes you can grind them yourselve with a sanding disc on the angle grinder, but use a mask and do it outside. Any good brake shop should be able to do this for you. Likely the shop that relines your brakes can.
Don't worry about the diameter of the drums. There is mega meat on them, and you are not trying to be road legal anyway. There is no specs that I could find for maximum diameter anyway.
